Nogle refleksioner over fænomenet og dets psykologiske mekanismer

Abstract

Parallel processes in psychotherapy and supervision refers to the phenomenon, that relations and interactions in one setting is recreated in the other. Starting with a historical vue, the articles reviews the litterature on the subject, and central positions is presented. In contrast with the majority of papers on this subject, that merely deals with parallel processes on a descriptive level, this work sets out to analyze the psychological mechanisms underlying parallel processes and states that the term refers to two different processes, where projective identification is a central mechanism in one of them.
